Hi I was wondering will using an elliptical make my thighs bigger? I'm 5'1" and weigh 120 I want to weigh 105-115. I have been walking 6miles everyday but, with the weather getting cooler I'm going to have to start using my elliptical... I don't want my thighs to get bigger...

  • I have been using my eliptical for a year now and that has not been a problem for me. plus I burn more calories than walking.
    good luck!

    It shouldn't. It's a cardio exercise, more useful for burning fat than building muscle.

    I've been doing it almost everyday for a month now..I lost two inches off my thighs in a month. They're MUCH more toned too. Go for it! I LOVE the elliptical!!!
